Great Knightmare Mysteries
-
To both the last two pasts above mine, see this post (ages old):
I personally agree with what is said there - I suppose the crew would have just told the team to re-film if they went for the shield, or maybe Greystagg would have refused, perhaps reminding the team of her statement "If it harms Lord Fear, I will help", and then Barry would ask her to release the hammer.
Although, what would have happened if Barry had not taken the Short Cut through the corridor of blades or not taken either the FREEZE potion (used on Sylvester Hands AFTER the Corridor of Blades) or the FAST BACKWARD potion (which they used to get back to Knightmare Castle)? Also, with Julie's team, what would have happened if she walked onwards without summoning Greystagg?

I've always wondered, if you look at things from Smirkenoff's point of view, does it appear to him that a dungeoneer just materialises out of nowhere or does he have a portal glued to his back from which a dungeoneer emerges from? It must be very hard for him to lay down at night if there is a ruddy great piece of black card stuck to him!

Why is it that Lillith has the power to conjure magical causeways, but not hair brushes or humbugs?
Who ordained any of the monks, and why? I don't imagine their eccelsiastical interviews would have gone that well:
Bishop: And finally, brothers, what is the central tenet of faith?
Cedric: CLOBBER ALL THE DOGSBOTTOMS!
Mace: hic I-I-I...'m shorrry, bish, what was that?
Strange: Many trees grow over the sleeping river, but only the butterfly laughs at dawn....
How did certain things get past the censors on a children's programme? Namely:
The 'Uppers' pills
Marta
Skarkill's chains fetish
The Reach wand (maybe that last one is just me being an English student and spotting phallic symbols but... oo-er)

You forgot to mention Gideon (S8)!

I remember aaaaages ago I was jobless and passing time by attempting to write a kind of thesis on the Knightmare universe's nature (which sadly got lost when my computer died). I noted that in early series, the Dungeon was described as constantly growing and shifting - a dynamic universe compared to our static one. I came up with the theory that the first few seasons saw the Dungeon as a very small infant universe that grew somewhat each phaseshift. It also collided with and absorbed into itself other realms, such as the Elven realm that it merged with during season 3. I ended up theorising that in its early phaseshifts it went through a kind of adolescent growth spurt, which resulted in violent changes as it destroyed and rebuilt itself - characters went through this too, sometimes completely changing (eg. Folly into Motley, Gretel into Mellisandre), sometimes staying the same and sometimes fading away. Later, the Dungeon dimension became larger and more stable, an adult dimension if you like.
I also came up with one alternate theory - Lord Fear's technomantic interference with the fabric of the universe may have changed the very nature of Knightmare, causing the phaseshifts to cease. This stopped the violent cycle of destruction and rebirth, but as Treguard noted may have disasterous yet-to-be-seen consequences.
Right, that turned into a bit of a ramble. I'll shut up now!

No doubt Skeletor was called 'old bony-face' by He-Man a few times...
I like trying to solve mysteries of Knightmare. Questions I've suggested answers to in my fanfics include:
How did Mellisandre get free when Ross failed to rescue her in Series 3?
How many Little Scaramongers were there?
What was the situation with the Dunswater Boatman?
Who was Young Grimwold, seen briefly in Series 6?
What was Gundrada's 'endless quest', as referred to by Merlin in Series 4?
And more, with the answers revealed in twists in the tales...
Not that my theories are any more valid than anyone else's - it's just fun to have a go at solving mysteries. And you don't need a van and a talking dog to do it...
